Buxton
Finley
99 Jackie
Griffey Jr
Huff
Mauricio
Joe Torre
GehrigDebating 2 things:
Swapping Jimmie Foxx for Sam Huff
Swapping Soriano for BuxtonEither of those sound likengood ideas or stick with what I got?
I would swap Soriano for Buxton. They're very similarly players, but Soriano has better hitting and can play just as good defense.
Huff v. Foxx is a much tougher choice. I think Foxx is the better hitter, but his defense behind the plate is very sketchy. I'd probably opt to keep Huff in the lineup and just use Foxx as a bench bat. Foxx severely limits your ability to stop people stealing and that could be a major issue with a lot of teams having a lot of speed right now.

I highly highly recommend FS Edward Cabrera, if you have him. He has a sub 1.00 ERA for me and I threw a perfect game with him on HoF earlier. His pitch mix is really good, his stats are good, and his delivery makes the ball feel like it's thrown harder than 99 MPH.
My strategy with him is to rely pretty heavily on the sinker/slider/change and use the fastball/curveball sparingly as a change of pace. As long as you don't throw it down the middle, his sinker is pretty effective anywhere in the zone and that gives you a lot of flexibility with tunneling the slider/change off of it.
If you don't like him, 97 Leiter is amazing if you can afford him. Priester and Crochet from TA are also solid options.

Sold Mattingly to finish the NL collection. Few stubs left and I haven’t been happy with 1b options. Usually live Eddie Murray cards, but this vet version is not for me. Prefer a mixture of contact and vision. Power is negotiable.
Looking for a card to platoon with TA Edgar Martinez because Edgar has reverse splits and suddenly there are so many good lefty starters to play against. Willing to play Torre at 1B if his swing has been improved over years past.

Where do babies come from?
Great question. You see, when a baseball team loves their Mike Trout very very much and he hits a perfect-perfect walk-off Home Run it makes everyone very h
ornyappy and they... well, you get the idea.Thank you! I get it! Is that why there is always a strong Trout smell?!
Lol that was good. Got me chuckling like a schoolboy

Bro I’m digging Torre. I actually moved him to 3B and Chipper to SS. Ortiz hasn’t left 1B for me. Hank and Vlad Jr I also had success at 1B

Torre is a good option. I've been using him at catcher and he's done well. That being said, he runs into the same problem as Martinez. He has reverse splits and hits better v. righties.
Have you tried TA 93 Jimmie Foxx? If his vision is too low for you, then I'd recommend Torre. But I'd at least give him a try first. I think he's a better hitter v. lefties than Torre. He has one of the best swings in the game and absolutely destroys left handed pitching.

Thanks. Just completed a mission to get the Fox card. I think I’ll platoon him with Rookie Helton for a bit and keep Torre on the bench for 1b and C (Johnny Bench).

I struggled with him both starts on HOF, I took crochet just now and will buy leiter if the SP on the 3rd inning isn’t someone I would like... thanks!!
